Traveling Volleyball Team:
The advantages of this project is that I have some understanding of the sport, because my sister is the coach. Also, with her being the coach it would allow me access to practices, interviews with the girls, and also learning about something new about my sister seeing her coach rather than play. It would allow me to research the difference on being on a school team verses being on a traveling team.
The disadvantages of this project would have to be the traveling aspect. This project would cause me to drive to different locations and socialize with a whole bunch of young ladies asking me off the wall questions.
The reason I am interested in this topic, because I wonder when kids are just kids. My sister and I played …show more content…

I have been around sports all my life and love that I have been able to watch and have been apart sports, but I had different aspects within my life other than sports. I think that is how sports are now and I wonder why or how we got to this stage in life when sports are careers for kids. I do not think though I am older it will affect my feelings towards this project, because it is the main component of this project, is to learn the how’s and whys of something …show more content…

My sister is the supervisor for the sixth floor nursing staff at United Hospital Center. I have meet most of the nursing staff and could speak to them about the culture of nightshift nursing, because to me it is a subculture.
The disadvantages of doing this project is access into the workplace. I could do interviews, listening to conversations, but I could not fully be in the workplace because of the timing of the work and the type of work they are doing as well.
The reason I am interested in doing this project is because I always hear how working with certain people can make all the different in the work. My sister use to be just a nurse, but after working two years at the hospital she advanced to supervisor when others have been working longer than her, so it interest me if things have changed for her working with the same people she now bosses. Also, why all the nurses leave to go to a different floor or place always come back to the sixth floor, is it the people, the floor, the work that make them come back. I think how the people you work with change you and how you became a family almost because of the work you are doing. They hang out with each other, go places together, have inside jokes, and truly just have the common complaints of being a nurse, but they always make sure they help each other do well when working such a hard job that truly does not get the respect it

  • The Varsity Team Case Study

    737 Words  | 2 Pages

    The Varsity team lost to the JV team because they did not work together as team. Though the Varsity team consisted of high performing individuals for speed, strength, and endurance but together they lacked the cohesiveness to perform as a single unit. Also among them there were a lot of internal conflicts cropping up like blaming each other, lack of trust and confidence in the ability of others etc., which were not identified, or resolved at appropriate time. Each one did not believe he was working as a part of the team; rather they tried to maximize their individual capabilities alone. In addition the Varsity team lacked a strong leader, mostly people were disruptors.

  • Nursing: Pros And Cons Of A Registered Nurse

    1122 Words  | 3 Pages

    Mary A. Osborne, a registered nurse said, “Nursing is a rewarding profession that can provide life-long job satisfaction and job security” (Jones 8). A registered nurse (RN) teaches their patients and the public all sorts of different health conditions and practices. They also give tips to the patients’ families and friends on how to support them physically and emotionally (Bureau 1). Registered nurses are employed in many places such as hospitals, schools, offices, homes, military services, and in nursing homes (Minnesota 1). Often in time, RNs don 't work by themselves, they work apart of a team that includes doctors, therapists, of course the patient, and generally their families (Minnesota 1-2). To be successful

  • The Value Of Values In Nursing Leadership

    ...rses work in an environment is forever changing. The one thing that I will not change is my dedication to excellence through ethics, standards, and best practices. My commitment to the health care profession is to provide excellent care for my patients. I will work to help manage patients with their illnesses, prevent disease, and promote a health lifestyle. We are health care educators and advocates for patients, families and communities. There is a mix of flexibility, opportunity and job security offered by nursing not currently found in any other profession, which allows me to rotate among different employment settings.

  • The Importance Of Nursing Generations In The Nursing Unit

    Nursing units today, need to be ran like a well-oiled machine. In order to do this, everyone that makes up the nursing unit needs to understand their co-workers and what drives them professionally. There are four generations that make-up todays nursing units. I believe, if everyone had a clear understanding of what generations encompass their nursing unit there will be less conflict in the nursing unit and a better understanding of what drives each individual professionally. Which in turn, leads to nurses spending more time at the patient’s bedside, better patient care given and thus improved patient outcomes.

    In class discussion we talked about how in today’s age younger kids do not have the same interest to get involved in sports as they used to. It seems that today younger kids are more interested in playing video games, then to take part in a sport and learn the team aspect of life and how to get along with each other and work as a team. Learning in sports is something people do not understand unless you are a true athlete. In the game of baseball there is so much silent communication not everyone knows about. You have nine men on the field who have the same mind set and that is to do anything you can to win this game and help your teammates. If a kid can learn this at a young age and carry this on with him through life, he will become that much of a better worker when he is at the office or wherever they might be.

  • Essay On Professionalism In Nursing

    1679 Words  | 4 Pages

    Nurses not only provide care but they play many other roles. For example, nurses are considered a communicator, teacher/educator, counselor, leader, advocate and collaborator (Taylor, Lillis, Lynn and LeMone. 2015). As a caregiver, nurses provide physical, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual needs. In addition, as a caregiver, nurse integrates the roles of communicator, teacher, counselor, leader, researcher, advocate, and collaborator to promote wellness through activities that prevent illness (Taylor et al. 2015). The primary role of a nurse is providing care to patients. One positive behavior a nurse should have is keeping boundaries between work and personal life. If a nurse is having a really bad morning at home, she shouldn’t express her emotions while she is working with patient. The patient and the coworkers don’t need to suffer because a nurse is having a bad day. Another positive quality every nurse should have is good working habits. They should come to work at least half an hour early so they can get organized and prioritize their work before starting the shift. In a health care setting, everyone works as a team. It’s very important to help each other out and also ask for help when

I also learned more about my own identity, what I still need to work on, and how to manage it as it exists today. “Change is the law of life.
